  SA 2301. Mr. CRUZ submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill H.R. 22, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to 
exempt employees with health coverage under TRICARE or the Veterans 
Administration from being taken into account for purposes of 
determining the employers to which the employer mandate applies under 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; which was ordered to 
lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. PROHIBITION ON SANCTIONS RELIEF FOR IRAN.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the President 
     may not waive, suspend, reduce, provide relief from, or 
     otherwise limit the application of statutory sanctions with 
     respect to Iran under any provision of law or refrain from 
     applying any such sanctions pursuant to an agreement with 
     Iran relating to Iran's nuclear program until--
       (1) the Government of Iran has recognized Israel's right to 
     exist; and
       (2) the Government of Iran has released all American 
     prisoners of conscience who are being unjustly held in 
     Iranian jails, including Saeed Abedini, Amir Hekmati, and 
     Jason Rezaian, and located and returned Robert Levinson.
